Message

On behalf of my associates
and myself, I take this oppor-
tunity to extend Season's
Greetings to all Lago employ-
ees and annuttants, their fam-
ilies, and friends.
Christmas each year brings
a rebirth of faith; it's a season
filled wzth good intentions and
hopes for a brighter future
At this time, I'm happy to
say, a brighter future is as- President W.
sured for Lago and Aruba
through several large projects that will be under conrruction
in our refinery during the next two to three years.
Like all progressive companies, Logo has to keep modifying
and innovat'ing to meet the constantly chaigingl demands on the
pol industry. We can be proud that ie are able to meet thrse
challenges
We may also take pride in our safety performance So far this
year, we have had an overall improvement of about 80c/ over
our safety performance in 1967.
This year has also been marked by several other f major mo-
provements: A number of huge tanks have been built, and mod-
ernization of our piers has been completed recently. Our sea
panorama will be changed by the Offshore Mooring Facllitics,
now under construction.
All these facilities will help us keep pace wzth progress in the
petroleum industry. They also provide greater job security for
us and employment for many hundreds of construction workers.
This gives us a sense of satisfaction and confidence in a better
future.
It is in this spirit and with the hope for better things in 1969
that I wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

Our Cover

This year's cover depicts the refinery, lit by a
thousand lights. Santa Claus rides over the refinery
area, bringing a bright star. The star represents the
lights that will brighten the many new plants of the
desulphurization facilities and the new offshore berth.
It also means a brighter future that these new pro-
jects will bring.
The Santa Claus scene is a water color painting by
Joe de Cuba, who also took the pictures.



The Back Page

The frame around the two poems by Miss Mercedes
Beaujon illustrates some of the things that bring more
joy to the Christmas season: musical instruments, de-
corations, gifts. The water color painting is by Miss
Lydia I. de Lange.

Facilities of Lago Sport Park

Turned Over to Aruba Sport Unie


"I would like to extend our
best wishes for much success
in the continued operation of
the Sport Park. I feel confi-
dent that this transfer is a
positive step towards the fu-
ture development of sports on
the island and in the San Nic-
olas area in particular." These
words were spoken by Presi-
dent W. A. Murray shortly
after he and Aruba Sport
Union President Mr. I. Frank
had signed the papers offici-
ally transferring the Lago
Sport Park to ASU.
This transfer took place in
Mr. Murray's office on Decem-
ber 3, 1968. Also present at
this occasion were Public &
Industrial Relations Manager
B. E. Nixon and Public Rel-
ations Administrator 0. V.
Antonette.
As agreed upon last year
between the ASU and Dago,
at the time of transfer Lago
would assist the Aruba Sport
Union with a five-year sub-
sidy amounting to approxim-
ately Fls. 215,000 over a five-
year period. This amount in-
cludes a one-time donation of
Fls. 10,000 to build'a concrete

V: r1


block wall on the south side
of the Park.
In addition, Lago has also
agreed to make necessary re-
pairs and painting of the
Sport Park, which will amount
to approximately Fsl. 10,000.
The Lago Sport Park was
inaugurated March 9, 1941.
Major improvements were
made in 1953, when lights
were installed and the grand-
stands were enlarged to ac-
commodate over 1500 persons.
Since that time, thousands of
spectators watch olympiad
events each year while the
yearly attendance exceeds
150,000 spectators.
The Sport Park offers fac-
ilities for numerous sports,
such asitrack andifield events,
baseball, softball, football,
volleyball, basketball, tennis,
cricket, boxing and judo.
There is also a playground for
children. For many years, the
Sport Park has also been used
as sport center for San Nico-
las schools.
The facilities of the Sport
Park represent a total invest-
ment of about Fls. 700,000.

r a iki Beaujon Brings Brighter Christmas to Her Neighborhood


Many Lago employees un.
dertake special activities dur-
ing the season to help make
Christmas brighter for others.
One of them who shares her
joy of Christmas with others
is Miss Mercedes (Siki) Beau-
jon of Compt.-Office Services.
Each year at Christmas
time Siki rounds up the child-
ren in her neighborhood at
Simeon Antonio and teaches
them carols and prepares them
for a Christmas play. Siki,
who writes the plays herself,
also designs the costumes for
the children and also accom.
panies them with her organ
music. The week before
Christmas, she invites the
parents of the children, neigh-
bors and co-workers to her
home, where in her spacious
garden, she brings the spirit
of the season to her many
guests.
In addition to all these pre-
parations which take up most
of her time after office hours
and her weekends, she and
the kids make Christmas de-
corations to raise funds. The
proceeds go towards the pur-
chase of food for a large
Christmas basket. For three
consecutive years, each Christ-
mas Siki and "her" children
have been making a poor
family happy with their gift.
Siki has, no doubt, taught

'-pif

these children the pleasure of
giving, not only material
things, but their time and ef-
forts as well.
An Office Clerk in the Of-
fice Services Section, she rec-
ently received a gold watch
for 25 years of company serv.
ice. During seventeen years of
her Lago career she worked
in the Marine Department.


Siki accompanies her child-
ren choir on the organ.
Siki ta acompanja su koor
di much ariba orgel.
Her hobbies include writing
poems and bowling. She has
participated in various island
bowling tournaments and has
won several trophies.
This year Siki shares yet
another of her talents. This
time two of her poems, in
English and Papiamento, ap-
pear on the backcover of our
Christmas edition.


Siki (c) and part of her 90 neighborhood
children, ranging from ages 5 to 18, who
participate in her Christmas play.


Nativity scene such as this one is presented at Siki's house
each year at Christmas time.

Basil Schmidt's One-Year Study

Earns Him Tug Captain's Diploma


On November 26/27, Tug
Operator Basil W. Schmidt, 33,
successfully passed the exam-
mation for tug captain given
by the Government Shipping
Inspection Office in Curagao.
He earned this diploma after
more than a year of home
study and practical training.
He was also assisted by the
other Lago tug captains and
Acting Harbor Master van
Velsen whenever he needed
additional explanation on the
subjects of the course. For his
study, he used the material of
the course set up for the
twelve tug captains trained by
Lago in 1962/1963.

Subjects covered by the tug
captain's training includes
naval architecture, naviga-
tion, rules of the road, stab-


ility, seamanship, signaling
and first aid.
An apprentice of the 1950
class, Basil worked in Mech-
anical-Electrical from 1953 to
1965, when he transferred to
Oil Movements as acting tug-
boat engineer. He obtained his
license as tugboat engineer in
May, 1965.
Basil went to California in
1957 where he studied elec-
tronics for over a year at the
National Schools. In 1959, he
followed the Advanced Elec-
tronics course from ICS. At
present he is taking a corres-
pondence course in Electronic
Engineering from the Ameri-
can Institute of Engineering
Technology of Chicago.
Residing in San Nicolas,
Basil is married and has three
girls and a boy.

37 Men Share FIs. 4410 In Oct./Nov. CYI Sweepstakes


A total of Fls. 4410 was paid
out in CYI awards during Oc-
tober and November. Of the
37 employees who shared in
these prizes, eight were top
CYI winners, earning Fls. 100
or more for their suggestion.
Six of the men received
their check at a Management
dinner at the Aruba Golf Club
Nov. 29 from President Mur-
ray.
The highest CYI awards
went to the following em-
ployees whose ideas were
adopted in November:
Benito Lampe, Marine Dis-
patcher in Process-Oil Move-
ments-Agency, won two CYI
prizes. He received a supple-
mental award of Fls. 700 for
his idea to improve tanker
turnaround by asking masters
to include specific informa-
tion in their next arrival mes-
sage. An initial award of
Fls. 200 for this idea was paid
in September. Mr. Lampe al-
so won Fls. 160 for his idea
to standardize bills of lading
forms to include commonly
used headings.
Felix Armando Koolman,
Assistant Operator in Oil
Movements, won Fls. 500 for
his suggestion to install a
block valve to wash header
west of manifold between
Pumps 1578 and 2306. This
idea speeds up and increases
flexibility of operations.
Moises F. Kusmus, Engin-
eering Assistant "B" in Tech-
nical Process Engineering,
suggested to use raffinate
spent caustic from Edeleanu
Plant to caustic wash extract.
This idea will save caustic and
fresh water, in turn saving
time and effort to make fresh
caustic. He received an initial


award of Fls. 360, plus Fls. 50
as a Lucky Area Winner.
George C. Granger, Quart-
ermaster in Process-Oil Move-
ments, won Fls. 315 for the
following suggestion: Use
strands of shortened 8" dacron
rope no longer used for tying
up ships instead of purchasing
new one-inch dacron ropes
used for tying tire fenders
alongside tugboats.
Frits Maduro, Operator in
Refining Division, received an
initial award of Fls. 225 for
his idea to switch control sys-
tem on the Rerun tower bot-
tom level from flow control-
ler (FRC) to a level control-
ler (LIC) at AAR-2. Switch-
ing to automatic LIC control-
ler will assure more accurate
level control.
Top CYI winners during
October were: Adriano Croes,
Operator, Process Utilities -
Fls. 140; Juan T. Lade, As-
sistant Operator, Process -
Refining Fls. 130; and Ed-
win R. Croes, Assistant Oper-
ator, Process Refining

Christmas In Many Lands


The most important feast
day of the Christian world is
again at hand: The Nativity
of Christ. Though the moment-
ous occasion will be celebrat-
ed by people in many lands,
the way they celebrate it will
vary from country to country.
In Aruba, there are people
of some 40 nationalite: -wiho
will, .to doubt, celebrate
Christmas according to their
own traditions. Whatever their
customs, the event is a univer-
sal, but yet a personal, feast
day.
In the very beginning,
Christmas was mainly a rel-
igious holiday. But, as the


custom spread, local ways of
celebrating began to blend
with the central theme of The
Nativity.

Christmas Decorations

As one of the practices dur.
ing the feast of Saturn, for
example, the Romans decorat-
ed their temples with green
boughs and flowers. The
Druids on the other hand made
It a practice of collecting mist-
letoe and hanging it in their
homes as a symbol of the
season.


From the Saxons, today's
Christmas received the cus-
tom of decorating with holly,
ivy and bay.
The use of Christmas trees
as holiday symbols began in
Germany in the 8th Century.
Although the oak tree had
been used as a sign to Odin,
a god usually associated with
Norse myth, the first Christ-
mas tree, a fir, replaced the
oak later and became a sym-
bol of the Christ Child.


Later, candles and orna-
ments began to appear on the
trees as special adornment.
Prince Albert, husband of
Queen Victoria, is said to have
introduced the custom in
Great Britain.

Carols

Music also has grown into
an important Christmas tra-
dition. Originally, liturgical
singing alone was done, too
theological for popular use.
The 13th Century, however,
saw the beginnings of popular
carols, written in the local
language, largely through the
influence of Francis of Assisi.
From Italy, the practice
spread to France, Germany.
England and other countries.
Even today, the practice of
house to house carol singing
is part of the spirit of Christ-
mas season.
In South America, especial-
ly in nearby Venezuela, the
"Aguinaldos" and "Gaitas"
are popular during the entire
season. In Aruba, these local

cionnan. Aunque cual sea nan
costumber, e event mes ta un
dia di fiesta universal, pero
toch personal.

Na cuminzamento, Pascu
tabata mas part un fiesta
religioso. Pero segun e cos-
tumber a plama, maneranan
local di celebra a cuminza
mezcla cu e tema central di
Natividad.


Music tambe a crece bira
un important tradition di
Pascu. Originalmente tabatin
solamente cantamento litir-
gico, cu tabata much teol6-
gico pa uso popular. Pero den
di Siglo 13 nos ta mira cu-
minzamento di canticanan,
scirbi den e idioma local, pa
majoria parti bao influencia di
San Francisco di Assisi.

Di Italia e costumber a pa-
sa pa Francia, Alemanla, Ing-
latera y otro paisnan. Hasta
awendia e costumber di pasa
cantando cas pa cas ta part
di espiritu di temporada di
Pascu.


Hopi Pais

Na Sur America, especial.
mente na Venezuela, e grupo-
nan- di Agulnaldos y Gaitas ta
popular durante henter e tem-

mento local a bira popular du.

Decoracionnan di Pascu

Como un di e costumbernan
durante fiesta di Saturno, por
ehempel, Romanonan tabata
decora nan tempelnan cu ma-
ta berde y flornan.

Costumber di usa kerstboom
como simbolo di fiesta a cu-

decoration, carols and parties
with fancy holiday baking
and cooking of special foods.
It's indeed a time of rejoicing,
sharing and inner peace for
all men of good will.

dump trucks. But soon they will be converted into fine pans, drums and basses for steel
bands to bring rhythm and excitement in Aruba's 1969 Carnival next February. They were
donated by Lago to the Aruba Carnival Foundation.
E 200 steel drumnan aki tabata haci hopi boroto fastioso ora ta hiza nan den dumptruck.
